Kiln Helper

Very helpful for keeping track of my projects and the little tools like calculating weights for volumes are easier on my phone than using my spreadsheet. The subscription is very cheap and I like being able to support the developer. I do wish there was a way to import inventory from a CSV. I’m maintaining it right now in google sheets and cannot imagine re-entering it all on my iPad or phone.

Error message ‘sign-up not completed’. Alternatively Apple ID appears to be accepted but app stays on login screen.

I just purchased this and am disappointed. I’m using it on an iPad, maybe that’s the problem, but I don’t have a Mac computer. It asks you to enter a kiln but won’t let you change the manufacturer from Paragon. Strike one. It asks you to enter the glass type but won’t let you change it from Bullseye. Strike two. Not sure if I want to invest any more time here.

The app defaults to mm and Celsius. Yes, you can change mm to inches and Celsius to Fahrenheit when filling out a kiln schedule, but when you get to the other screens, it displays the data in mm and Celsius. Filing out the kiln schedule is also more complex than it needs to be. I shouldn’t have to name each segment unless I want to. Overall it makes keeping track of kiln schedules take longer. Definitely not worth the $2. I’m going back to my paper sheets in my binder.

Great app, allows me to keep track of all my inventory, create and record my firing schedules, keep records of my projects from start to finish and much more.

So far I like the app. Love the fitting schedule graphs! Trying to figure out how to “share” since I want a back up of my projects in case the app crashes or becomes obsolete

I just bought this application, but the registration does not work! Also, the ability to log in with the help of Google account does not work! And unfortunately, the application is completely unused and inactive without signup & registration! I wasted my money! Update: I live in Iran, but the Google registration system works fine here and has no problems! I am also enrolled in bullseye glass online classes and have been using their online classes with ease, apparently this problem only occurs with your app! I want to use your app and I don't need a refund so please fix this problem in the first update. Thank you for your attention and reply and I hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible. Update: It displays the following error. A network error (such as timeout, interrupted connection or unreachable host) has occurred. Update: After several decades of various sanctions, Iranian people have become masters of circumventing restrictions. I will fix the problem and enjoy your app! I am sure this app will be very useful. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I’ve been fusing glass for years and never really found a great way to keep my projects, photos and firing schedules in one place and easily accessible, until I tried Kiln Helper! I use it on my iPad, but it is available for phones and across different platforms. You can enter each piece as a new project, including information like date, kiln used, the materials used, and a firing schedule or schedules depending on your project. There is plenty of space for project notes as well as firing notes. When you enter a firing schedule a handy graph is also displayed. The best part is being able to add multiple photos for your project - no more firing schedules on paper while the photos are on the phone! Projects are displayed as either a card with a large photo or in a detail list with a smaller photo. The materials aspect is good as well. If you use Bullseye glass you can either enter a product number or scroll through a listing and select the specific product you want. There is also a description field if you used a material not on the list. It’s not a difficult app to learn although it did take me a little bit to figure it out. I had a couple of questions and contacted the creator who was very helpful. Regarding having to log in, I don’t find it an issue considering you have to log into almost every program you use that stores data. I highly recommend this product!

I recently started using this program and I like it except for a few things: 1. It is absolutely necessary to allow fractions or decimals if one uses inches rather than mm, 2. After photos should always show up first. When scrolling through projects those are usually most helpful but it is always the first photo uploaded that is the project photo that shows when scrolling through projects. Either change that or allow users to choose which photo they want to show in the project list for each project, 3. Update the Bullseye color list, they are not all there (peacock blue for example).

I just purchased the app. I might not have purchased it had I known I had to have an account and sign in to it. I wish this was a self contained app. Other then that, I’m giving the app a try. I like the thought of all the glass listing with possible reactions and stuff.
